Ingredients for Blistered Shishito Peppers

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Pickle the Shallots

    Thinly slice the shallots and place them in a small bowl. Add lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

  2. 2

    Make Lemon Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, garlic powder, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and set aside.

  3. 3

    Blister the Peppers

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shishito peppers and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the peppers are blistered and charred.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the blistered peppers to a serving plate. Top with citrus-pickled shallots, garnish with chile threads, and serve with lemon aioli on the side.
